SILVAN RESERVOIR PARK

Public BBQ

Silvan Reservoir Park emerges as a standout destination in the Dandenong Ranges, where recent upgrades have transformed what was once a tired facility into a proper family drawcard. The landscaped picnic areas nestle beneath towering eucalypts, offering spectacular reservoir views that justify the scenic drive through Monbulk. The BBQ facilities are well-positioned across open lawns, complemented by the picturesque stone dam wall that provides an Instagram-worthy backdrop. Families appreciate the compact but functional playground, while the generous car parking eliminates the usual weekend scramble for spots. Recent improvements shine brightest in the amenities - clean, modern toilets housed in charming corrugated iron structures maintain that authentic Australian park aesthetic. The facility caters admirably to dog owners, though visitors should note that walking tracks remain temporarily closed. While some paths prove steep for casual strollers, the expansive green spaces compensate with ample room for cricket or frisbee. The park strikes an appealing balance between accessibility and natural beauty, though increased tourist numbers suggest the secret's well and truly out among Melbourne day-trippers.
